Answer:

paper clips = $1.85

index cards = $3.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark

12 paper clips = x

10 index cards = y

$61.70 total

Janice

15 paper clips = x

7 index cards = y

$55.40 total

12x + 10y = 61.70

15x + 7y   = 55.40

*** you want to cancel out one of the letters

(12x + 10y = 61.70) * -7

(15x + 7y   = 55.40) * 10

-84x -70y = -431.9

150x + 70y = 554.0

150x + 70y = 554.0

-84x -70y = -431.9

66x + 0 = 122.1

66x = 122.1

x = 122.1 ÷ 66

x = 1.85

plug it back in

15(1.85) + 7y   = 55.40

27.75 + 7y   = 55.40

7y   = 55.40 - 27.75

7y = 27.65

y = 27.65 ÷ 7

y = 3.95

Melanie made a circular necklace. She puts beads evenly spaced around the necklace. If the 4th bead is directly across from the
Norma-Jean [14]
If the 4th lies opposite the 11th, then you know the 3rd lies opposite the 10th, the 2nd opposite the 9th, and the 1st opposite the 8th; meanwhile, in the reverse direction you'd find that the 5th lies opposite the 12th, the 6th opposite the 13th, and the 7th opposite the 14th. Move up one more bead and you're back at the 1st, which you already know lies opposite the 8th. Therefore there are 14 total beads.

seraphim [82]

Answer:

<h2>132.25π  m²</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is 23π

On the other hand, The circumference of a circle = 2×π×r ; where r is the radius.

then

by equating the last two expressions we get: 23π = 2πr then r = 23/2

then

the area = π × r² = (23/2)²×π = (132.25)×π
